Adam Schiff: John Bolton’s book blasts a hole in Trump defense

Lead impeachment House manager Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said that an unpublished draft manuscript by former national security adviser John Bolton, which was reported by The New York Times, blasts another hole in President Trump's defense. According to the report, the manuscript alleges Trump wanted to continue holding military aid to Ukraine until the country helped with investigations into Democrats.

If the president did nothing wrong and was focused on corruption, he’d let HIS officials who were in on it all testify under oath, the first hand witnesses…They’ll say he was innocent and was focused on corruption, right? They’ll say all this was normal and was of no concern; a “perfect call” right? Then he’ll be re-elected because their testimony proved impeachment was a hoax, right? Case closed🥴🥴

@Randy B
Adam shifty has already had the chance to call him as a witness and changed his mind…
The truth is already “out” so nothing else is coming out !
Other than by comparison Trump is the cleanest president of all time … FACT ! ! ! !
Its a pretty piss poor sorry place ppl come from to say Trump is guilty of anything !!

TRUMP IS NOT GUILTY OF ANYTHING AT ALL ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
It takes a sad piss poor excuse of a person to believe or say Trump is guilty !!
He has done everything he promised he would do plus much much more !!!
Open your eyes and look past your big noses democrats , the only lies are the ones your telling

“From Trump on down, they all know how damning Bolton’s testimony would be to Trump’s defense. Indeed, the leak of what’s in Bolton’s book shows how disingenuous the president’s defense has been.

Before the Senate on Saturday, deputy White House counsel Michael Purpura laid out the elements of that defense. Key among them: “Not a single witness testified that the President himself said there was any connection between any investigations and security assistance, a Presidential meeting, or anything else.”

He continued: “Most of the Democrats’ witnesses have never spoken to the President at all, let alone about Ukraine security assistance.” And: “The Democrats’ entire quid pro quo theory is based on nothing more than the initial speculation of one person” — U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland.

If Bolton testifies to what’s in his manuscript, these arguments, weak as they are, will collapse. The words will come from Trump’s mouth, because Bolton will have put them there. The direct witness whose absence Trump’s lawyers trumpeted will have appeared.

And that witness would destroy the central defense Trump’s lawyers have raised. Which is that the call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was perfect — factually, legally, and constitutionally.

In light of Trump’s own arguments, it would now be preposterous, if it ever wasn’t, for the Senate not to call Bolton as a witness. To refuse to do so would ensure that the trial would be recorded forever in history as a GOP-orchestrated farce.

Trump’s own lawyers have framed the removal question as turning on proof of the president’s true motives. Well, here’s a witness who can tell us what the president, in a face-to-face conversation, said he wanted.

Trump’s lawyers complain that no witness talked to Trump about the linkage between the aid and the investigation. Well, here’s Bolton, ready, willing, and able to testify.”

Then why the hell didn’t SHIFT subpoena him when he had the chance when he was supposed to? The NYT’S admits they don’t have the Bolton Manuscript and what they heard of was from an undisclosed “source”, so FAKE AND LIES.

@Julie Crane More than ready. They’ve always been ready and that oath I took long ago still stands- ”against all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC”. Democrats have become that ”domestic enemy” by their adoption of anti-American marxist ideology.

Testify about what, the fact he’s been lied about CONSTANTLY by the lib dem commies you and others support? ”Testify” about being impeached for something Joe Biden did? Because we can SEE Joe BRAGGING in the following video about his ”quid pro quo”, YET any fool who’s READ THE TRANSCRIPT of Trump’s phone call can’t seem to find one- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnIPw_Who7E

Randy B seriously brother, I speak about something here that should concern us all… I will MORE than agree that there’s dirt, but there are DANGEROUS situations that have been pushed under the rug for years… Provable stuff…
Who is Ed Buck?
A major contributor to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary’s campaign.
Ed Buck murdered a homeless black man by overdosing him while trying to rape him.
Another Epstein style slap on the wrist, care of the Obama administration DOJ… It’s also rumored that Ed Buck and Adam Schiff were lovers….

Steven Shepherd I assure you Sir, I am no dolt…..
I can say without reservation that there will be an acquittal as well as an exspongement of record………..
How am I so confident?

The charges brought against the President are;
Count #1.Abuse of power…
Count #2. Obstruction of Congress…
As to “Count #1…………………….
The President, regardless of party, has the ability to increase, reduce or deny ANY export of ANY American materials without cause or circumstance at any time, as per our Constitution…. The Presidency holds title of CEO…

As to Count #2……………………
There is no such Constitutional charge that can be levied without first going to the courts….

These are NOT the observations of a blind man… This is factual based on our laws…. This will end with acquittal based on the Constitutional standard and eventual exspongement of record for Donald J. Trump…..

Because of this betrayal of our Constitution, it’s my belief that the Democratic party as a whole will fade into the background of history after A.G.Barr subits the full report and the people vote on November 3rd………………………………

@Just Me Think.
2020 election cycle.
28 senators leaving.
If Trump were to garner the votes to win, it would be because of electoral college.
Senate does not use college.
House impeaches for second time just before election and holds articles until swearing in of new Senate. Taxes have been released. Bank records have been published.
New Senate will be Democrat.
Check out the demographic.
Research.
Even when house goes republican, Senate goes democrat.
House sends new articles moments after swearing in of new Senate.
It’s a done deal.
Trump is removed in 2021.
This is the plan B.
When people demonstrate how to, before they commit to the act.
Pelosi has only been campaigning. The true strike is yet to come. College age voter will determine the new Senate. Just look at the demographic. Dang

@Phil Burton You were told those lies they are not true. He cannot block anything oine it was given to the court. The court would decide. That was the Dems job. They did supeana Bolton, but then they canceled it, why? Then in this grave emergency that they claimed, they held onto to article for a month. wow what an urgency, vacation and that sports games whatever it was came first. suddenly. They just wanted to prolong this, they shamefully decided they will try to take the time away from defense. Again I say, let it go back to the house and have them do their jobs, and the right way thjis time. That my friend means due process! WHich means we get witnesess there and we question whomever we want with questions we want. They did noit allow that the ast time,. Not even lawyers for Trump was allowed. Good Luck with that! Biden happen to be corrupt, that was and is not Trup-s fault if biden got caught in the middle of it all.

Boltin Has Now came out this Morning Infactically stating Not True. No one Consulted the New York Times.
